The problem

Coming home should feel safe. Too often, it doesn't.

After a stroke, the home that once felt familiar becomes an obstacle course of small, invisible risks. HomeStroke was built to make those risks visible — and fixable.

01

The bathroom is the room where most home falls happen

Wet tile, low toilets and nothing safe to hold onto turn a daily routine into the highest-risk moment of the day.

02

Discharge day comes with a stack of advice and no plan

Families leave the hospital knowing the home isn't ready — but not which fix matters first, what it costs, or how to do it.

03

One missed hazard can undo months of recovery

A single fall often means the ER, a setback, and a long road back. Most are preventable with the right changes in the right order.

What HomeStroke does

One app, from first scan to a safer home

Everything a survivor and their caregivers need to make the home safer — without guesswork, contractors' jargon, or a pile of printouts.

Find the hazards that actually matter

Scan a room with your phone and HomeStroke flags the specific risks behind most falls — slick floors, missing grab bars, thresholds and bad lighting — ranked by how dangerous they are.

Why it matters

The danger is real — and most of it is avoidable

For a stroke survivor, the home itself is one of the biggest factors in recovery. HomeStroke exists because the right changes, made early, prevent the falls that set people back.

Mostfalls among older adults happen at home

The place that should feel safest is where the majority of serious falls occur.

Bathrooms& stairs are the highest-risk rooms

Wet surfaces, low seats and missing rails concentrate risk in just a few spots.

First monthshome carry the highest fall risk after a stroke

New mobility limits meet an unchanged home, right when recovery is most fragile.

Preventable— most home falls can be designed out

The right modifications, done in the right order, remove hazards before they cause harm.

Room-by-room guide

A safety blueprint for every room

Falls cluster in predictable places. Here's where the risk lives — and the changes that matter most in each space.

Bathroom

Highest-risk room

Stud-mounted grab bars, a shower chair, non-slip flooring and a raised toilet seat remove the most common slip points.

Stairway

Highest severity

Handrails on both sides, high-contrast edge tape and secured treads.

Bedroom

Night-time falls

Bed rails, motion night-lights and clear, cable-free walkways.

Kitchen

Reaching hazards

Everyday items at waist height and a cushioned non-slip mat at the sink.

Living area

Sit-to-stand

Firmer, higher seating, tucked cords and wider walking lanes.

Entryway

Threshold steps

Ramps over lips, motion lighting and a steady rail at the door.

Built for recovery

Design a home that helps you heal

From a simple grab bar to smarter lighting, HomeStroke shows which changes give a survivor the most independence and safety for the least effort — so you spend on what truly helps.

Why families are signing up

Built around the moments that matter most

When Dad came home, I didn't know where to start. I needed someone to just tell me what to fix first — the bathroom, the stairs — instead of worrying about everything at once.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know about making a home safer after a stroke.

Start by focusing on high-risk areas like the bathroom, entryways, and stairways. Install robust grab bars, ensure pathways are clear of cables or loose rugs, improve lighting with automated night lights, and place frequently used kitchen items within easy waist-high reach.

The highest priority upgrades include shower seating, grab bars in tubs/showers, stable stair rails on both sides, automatic hallways/bathroom night lights, non-slip mat backing, and secure support structures at entryway threshold steps.

Same-day changes like removing tripping hazards and installing night lights reduce risks instantly. More technical changes (grab bars and rails) typically take 1–3 weeks but provide vital long-term clinical safety advantages.

Absolutely. HomeStroke is designed for independent stroke survivors as well as those collaborating with family members, professional caregivers, or rehabilitation therapists.

Simple fixes (night lights, non-slip adhesives) cost under $100. Standard installations (grab bars, shower chairs) range from $100–$500. Major accessible remodels run higher but high-impact priority fixes remain very cost-effective.

Medicare Part B does not directly pay for home construction modifications, but it does cover some Durable Medical Equipment (DME) like patient lifts. Certain Medicare Advantage plans or long-term care insurance policies also provide home safety equipment allowances.

You can easily export your dashboard home scan report or checklist progress directly as a PDF from the app to share with family caregivers, primary doctors, or physical/occupational therapists.
